Celebrate Easter online with these Irving churches

Many services are being streamed since city regulations prohibit large gatherings.

Coronavirus or not, Easter Sunday is still this weekend for Christians in Irving and around the globe.

While city and county declarations prohibit large gatherings of people, churches of various denominations in Irving have pivoted to online services to keep their congregations worshiping together. This spirit of togetherness is set to continue this Easter weekend.

Catholic Churches in Irving have been doing online Masses, but Diocese of Dallas Bishop Edward Burns and Auxiliary Bishop Greg Kelly will be celebrating Masses marking Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. Masses will be streamed online, and Easter Sunday will also air on KDFW Fox 4 at 11 a.m.

Christ Church Irving, a nondenominational church, is streaming online services this week. It will also stream services Sunday at 8:30 a.m., 9:45 a.m. and 11:15 a.m.

First Baptist Church of Irving is streaming Holy Friday service at noon and Resurrection Sunday service at 10 a.m.
